Perfect Lies.

Chapter-21 "Partner"

I furrowed my brows in confusion but Alex was looking like a freak. He was jumping (in a panic I guess) with his hand on his mouth.

"What?" I turned to him and yelled but he ignored me as he continued his dancing. I rolled my eyes and turned to Christy. Maybe, staying with Christy for too long would have driven him crazy.

"What do you mean Christy? Why would my mom give me to you?"

"You idiotic dumb boy!" Alex yelled. Great! Now even he can't survive without scaring a cute, innocent boy.

"You are Meldy's son!" He yelled. I frowned deeper so he continued.

"Look, Meldy gave her child to Andrea so that she can give It to Christy, Robbin is your father, as he states it. We never saw her child and your birth date!. If you remember, it's the same date when Meldy's child was born!, 10th November." He said with an amused expression.

What he said was too powerful for me to handle. My small mind can't take this much information together. I stood there, too terrified to even see Christy as I processed everything. He was right, I'd never believed that Robbin was my father.

"Wait!" Alex suddenly shouted, ok you all, if I spend one more minute with these two psychopaths, I'm sure that I will die.

He turned to Christy "This means that you are his aunt?. but how?. I mean, your surname...." He pursed his lips in a thin line and frowned in confusion.

"I changed my surname" she paused and looked down, "that night still haunted me, seeing Meldy like that was too shocking. So, to erase those dreadful days of my past, I changed my surname from Crew to Ansley" Alex nodded.

"I'm a Collins" I mumbled. "Christy, you are my aunt!" I yelled and she jumped in shock (huh, karma). "And.....Meldy...my mom?" I frowned.

I was still looking at the ground as I felt something cold and wet on my cheek, I touched it. Ooh no, that was a tear! "I can't cry, I can't " I reminded myself as I desperately tried to wipe my tear of and remain calm as I put my facade on. I felt someone squeezing my shoulder. I glanced back, repressing the urge to cry as I saw Alex with concerned eyes.

Gathering all the courage that was left in me, I looked towards Christy who was grinning at me but her eyes gave it away as tears rolled down through her eyes.

But for the first time, I saw her smiling, a sad one of course. I couldn't believe that I was the reason for someone's smile. I also offered a hollow smile.

"But why would Andrea do that?" Alex asked but, got ignored. I walked towards Christy and pulled her into a tight hug. I was both sad and happy. Sad because my so-called mom betrayed me and happy because I had someone whom I can say was mine.

After a while of comfortable silence, she pulled back and kissed my forehead but, this little moment didn't last long as we hear a loud bang outside. I jerked away and went to see who's outside.

Alex yanked the door and we both came to a halt at what we saw there.

Robbin and Andrea, (my mom) stood dangerously close to each other with their hands laced together.

"M--mom" I stuttered. She glanced up at me and smirked as She lifted her and Robbin's hand.

"This is my job" she waved their laced hand at me. I was too shocked to speak so, I remained silent.

"Now that you know everything about us, let me tell you something--"

"What?" Alex yelled but I stopped him.

"So, you are his partner?!" I suddenly snapped as the realization hit me. Mr.Phil told me that Robbin and her partner will play tricks on me. Earlier, I thought that it was Christy but, it was my mom all the time and I didn't even notice it.

"Very well," Robbin started as he glanced towards mom. "Miss. Andrea Conner, you have raised Meldy's kid pretty well, good job"

I felt so betrayed. My mom, who was there to help me in the toughest time did this to me. She took Rob's side as raised me just to break me. That was not fair, I just wanted to know the truth of my father which landed me in the puddle of death.

"Wh--why mom..." I mumbled. I couldn't put my facade for too long so, I dropped it and tears started rolling down through my eyes, making them blurry.

"I raised you so that you can help us" she glared at me with poisoning eyes, scrutinizing mine. "I want you to kill Christy"

"No!" I yelled as I went forward but was stopped by some force that held me back. I didn't have to turn to recognize that it was Alex which was holding me so that I don't punch them.

"YOU FILTHY TRAITOR!!, WHY!? WHY!?, YOU DID THIS TO ME!??" Tears were rolling down through my eyes mercilessly.

"You know what's more fun?" Robbin said calmly. "That" he pointed towards my back.

"Surprise, surprise" I glanced back at the familiar voice which alarmed me. I felt Alex grip tightened at me.

I came to a halt at the vision. Mike was standing behind me with Christy by his side, struggling to loosen his grip. He held her firmly despite the constant struggle. His one hand, on her mouth and the other on her waist. I seriously can't believe it's Mike out of all people but why he's doing this.

"Mike!" Alex yelled. "You traitor, what are you doing!!"

"Just messing around," he said as he took out a knife from his pocket and played with Christy's neck with it. Moments later, she stopped moving and he pushed her on the ground.

I stared at her unconscious body in horror. The woman who helped me, that same woman who supported me was dead?!.

I hastily turned around. "Why did you killed her?" I asked the dark-haired man angrily but he only nodded his head calmly, "you didn't even hesitate to do this? despite being a cop and his husband?" I asked this time more furiously but he only ignored me and walked away. My head was filled with dizziness and my eyes went blurry in front of me, I had no sense of what to do next, the dizziness was so dominating that I lied on the road in between the street and closed my eyes.......
